Red Herring by Michael Hollinger, directed by Michael Rafkin
Portland Stage Company, 2018
"Ailion…reminded all of us why the future of the theater remains bright, and in good hands." -Bangor Daily News
"…superb comic timing, and she gives Lynn gleaming innocence cut with a refreshingly strong will and sensuality." -Conway Daily Sun
Thousand Pines by Matthew Greene; Directed by Austin Pendleton
World Premiere at Westport Country Playhouse, 2018
Thousand Pines cast & crew on opening night with Director Austin Pendleton.
“An exemplary cast, well chosen by [Austin] Pendleton…offer[ing] complex, centered, radically different character turns, fraught with truth, emotion and signature compassion.” - Jim Ruocco, Connecticut Critic’s Circle
Truly stunning…Katie Ailion is heartbreaking, taking on three parts that, on the surface, seem to be similar, but ultimately prove to be quite different. – Zander Opper, Connecticut Theater Critic
“Six fine actors work as a well-oiled ensemble…moving and fascinating” – Karen Isaacs, Berkshire Fine Arts
“Good as Katie Ailion (Actor 5) is as a former girlfriend pretending her relationship with the remaining Foster boy hasn’t ended… that character pales beside the bitter, recriminatory daughter she plays among the Kanes.” – New Haven Review
“All are impressive.…performed with intelligence and care by six highly skilled actors.” – Talkin Broadway
“Dependable character actors who effortlessly inhabit multiple distinct roles.” – Hartford Courant
“Each actor exhibits incredible control over their instrument as they play characters who are as different as night and day.” -Pillow Talk Theater Review
